Questions to ask Artists

Suggested questions for artist interviews:


  1. How does working on a public piece of art - like a large scale mural - change the way you work? Do you think about the creative process differently? (Maria)
  2. What's the worst experience and the best experience you have had making a public artwork? (Maria)
  3. If you had one piece of advice for someone taking on a public art project, what would it be? (Maria)
  4. Tell us your origin story as an artist. What drew you into public art/street art? (Adam)
  5. What’s the story behind [insert mural name]? How did the idea for this piece develop and what was the process for its creation? Is there a message you were trying to convey through this work of art? (Adam)
  6. In what ways did the community of Oceanside support and/or influence this project? (Adam)
  7. What are some projects that you are currently working on now or that you have queued up for the future? How can we keep up-to-date on all that you have going on (i.e. social media handle)? (Adam)

Participate in inaugural Oceanside Mural Walk?

In connection with the Oceanside Museum of Art, we are putting together a mural walk for downtown Oceanside on Sat Feb 29 (10-11:30am) , and another one on Saturday April 11 (10-11:30am).

We would like to talk to some of the artists that created these amazing pieces of public art during the walk. The plan is to have each artist appear alongside their work, tell their story, and answer a few questions, for a total of 10-15 minutes.

Might you be available and interested in participating? 

Thank you -
